Tomorrow morning I am invited to Mayavaram G. Somasundaram's 80th birthday ceremony, so I have to make one of my unusual early starts. I don't think there will be any music there, but I'm sure there will be a musician or two.

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 28 Dec 2007, 00:00

If I can wake up early enough (don't drop your jaw - hols are on) - Jayanty Kumaresh at 10. Options open after that aournd Mylapopre area and Sangeetha Sivakuamr at 6.15...

ramani mami veenai and amrita at academy.

and thats all.

bilahari · Post by **bilahari** » 28 Dec 2007, 23:14

TNK at Kalakshetra in the evening.

Nick H · Post by **Nick H** » 29 Dec 2007, 00:23

I'm glad I'm not the only one with that problem.

There were many people at Somu-sir's function that I felt I ought to know. I'm sure many a musician of his, and younger, generations were there.

The Nadaswaram and Thavil was great.

We were unable to stay long, due to other commitments. Breakfast was great; we could not stay for lunch.

Even though he may not be to the fore so much these days, I've seen Somu-sir's mind at work only a year or three ago, composing tiermanums, mohara, korvai for that 128-beat talam (err.... Simhanandan...) and I am very much aware of my teacher's respect for his knowledge. A giant of calculation!

Any body attended "SADAS" of MA.. !!! Some awards were given.

THE AWARD GOES TO...........

9.15 Slot- Best performer- Suguna Purushottaman
12.00 Slot- Best Performer- Ranjan Hebbar
1.45 Slot- Musiri Subramanyam Award for best Neraval- Sattur Sisters.

Apart from that- Vijay Siva and TM Krisha are the best performers of the season..

Sanjay and all the female group-got awards too. I also believe all the musicians were present .... must have been a delight for those who attended...

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 03 Jan 2008, 11:11

I attended last time so gave it a miss this year....would be great if someone could summarize...

Sathej · Post by **Sathej** » 03 Jan 2008, 11:15

I was there for sometime...
Sathej

kamavardhani · Post by **kamavardhani** » 03 Jan 2008, 11:20

Didnt attend but I saw a few pics at carnatica.net. Heard that the ceremony itself was quite a drag.

Awards... well, there are so many, it's almost as if they have one for every musician that performed in the season! Sanjay & team got it for best concert (senior), TMK & Vijay shared for best senior artiste, Sowmya got three awards for raga alapana, Best pallavi award went to BMK Jr... etc etc

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 03 Jan 2008, 11:34

Kamavardhini I felt the same when I attended last year! In many cases similar sounding awards are handed out to various artistes leaving the average rasika quite confused...

Nick H · Post by **Nick H** » 03 Jan 2008, 13:08

Planning to see Neyveli Santhanagopalan at Swamy's Hall tonight.

Can you believe that this is a first time for me?

I'm sure you can't! But I truly have never made it to his concert before...

If' vidyaarthi' happens to read your post, he would make it a point to sing specially for you!

nick, if you are talking of this season alone, then you are not the only person around. i couldn't attend even one concert of many of the top class musicians. however, if its over a long period of time, then you should listen more.

Nick H · Post by **Nick H** » 04 Jan 2008, 00:40

You see: I knew no-one would believe me!

I'm talking ever! This is the first time I've ever seen him sing!

And it was magnificent

I think the second time may well be very soon!

And, for some reason, we've never yet come face to face at a Rasika's do either, so tonight I made sure that I greeted as well as heard him.

Planning to be there for the rapid fire turns of Aditi Mangaldas at Academy. I witnessed a thrilling performance by her group 3 years back. Hoping for a repeat
